LOL! NONE of the "usual suspects" admitted they got oosiked in last year's market. That's where the comedy comes in...CNBS still puts them on, but no one challenges them on the goof-assed calls they made last spring.
Bill Meehan had the right idea...before you show these goofs on CNBS, put a video clip of what they were pimping last Spring...not just their picks, but their actual pimping--on TV.
As we speak, Kernan is spoofing Barrons...well, lemme tell you, the notion of SUNW going to $4 is a better proposition than the f-cks that CNBS aired last spring who were saying Ebay, AMZN, et.al were going to $1000. Those jokers like Anthony Noto who were pimping AMZN last spring are smoking my tailpipe right now...yet CNBS gives still gives Noto carte blanche whenever he wants to pimp his new "gotta get this crap outta my trader's desk" tout.
And here's The Ferret...no mention of the fact that she was pimping for Lehman Brothers a month ago, telling Joe 6-Pack to dive into the California utilities, because Lehman's institutions needed to get the hell out. Will she ever learn that these firms who call her are playing her like a tool? Probably not. I have to laugh at the "little Ferret Club" members (you know, the clueless jokers who buy Maria's touts on Island, as a show of their undying affection for her) who got spanked buying California utilities on Maria's specific reco. She's the J.T. Marlin of financial TV.
CNBC continues to be a joke...they've National Enquirer'ed themselves out of the market. |
